New Gold Lantana
Best low-maintenance bloomer for sun-drenched gardens and butterfly lovers.
The New Gold Lantana is a vibrant, heat-loving perennial that produces brilliant golden yellow flower clusters continuously from spring through fall. Its trailing growth habit makes it exceptionally versatile, perfect for use as a groundcover or allowing it to tumble beautifully from hanging baskets. In warmer, frost-free climates, this plant maintains its evergreen foliage; however, in northern regions, it is best treated as a stunning summer annual. It thrives in full sun and prefers dry to average water conditions once established, making it a waterwise choice for many landscapes. This plant attracts butterflies and is noted for its deer resistance.
